Among the varied risks that senior living and long-term care owners and operators face, caring for residents brings unique safety challenges for community associates and caregivers.
Developed by registered nurses, certified safety professionals, and risk professionals from Marsh’s Senior Living & LTC Industry Practice, our Workforce Safety Education Library consists of 15 videos across four core areas: safe resident mobility assistance, ergonomics, resident safety, and general safety.
